LazyList

@SerialVersionUID(3L) final class LazyList[+A] extends AbstractSeq[A] with LinearSeq[A] with LinearSeqOps[A, [A] =>> LazyList[A], LazyList[A]] with IterableFactoryDefaults[A, [A] =>> LazyList[A]] with Serializable

This class implements an immutable linked list. We call it "lazy" because it computes its elements only when they are needed.

Elements are memoized; that is, the value of each element is computed at most once.

Elements are computed in-order and are never skipped. In other words, accessing the tail causes the head to be computed first.

How lazy is a LazyList? When you have a value of type LazyList, you don't know yet whether the list is empty or not. If you learn that it is non-empty, then you also know that the head has been computed. But the tail is itself a LazyList, whose emptiness-or-not might remain undetermined.

A LazyList may be infinite. For example, LazyList.from(0) contains all of the natural numbers 0, 1, 2, and so on. For infinite sequences, some methods (such as count, sum, max or min) will not terminate.

Here is an example:

import scala.math.BigInt
object Main extends App {
  val fibs: LazyList[BigInt] =
    BigInt(0) #:: BigInt(1) #:: fibs.zip(fibs.tail).map{ n => n._1 + n._2 }
  fibs.take(5).foreach(println)
}

// prints
//
// 0
// 1
// 1
// 2
// 3

To illustrate, let's add some output to the definition fibs, so we see what's going on.

import scala.math.BigInt
object Main extends App {
  val fibs: LazyList[BigInt] =
    BigInt(0) #:: BigInt(1) #::
      fibs.zip(fibs.tail).map{ n =>
        println(s"Adding ${n._1} and ${n._2}")
        n._1 + n._2
      }
  fibs.take(5).foreach(println)
  fibs.take(6).foreach(println)
}

// prints
//
// 0
// 1
// Adding 0 and 1
// 1
// Adding 1 and 1
// 2
// Adding 1 and 2
// 3

// And then prints
//
// 0
// 1
// 1
// 2
// 3
// Adding 2 and 3
// 5

Note that the definition of fibs uses val not def. The memoization of the LazyList requires us to have somewhere to store the information and a val allows us to do that.

Further remarks about the semantics of LazyList:

- Though the LazyList changes as it is accessed, this does not contradict its immutability. Once the values are memoized they do not change. Values that have yet to be memoized still "exist", they simply haven't been computed yet.

- One must be cautious of memoization; it can eat up memory if you're not careful. That's because memoization of the LazyList creates a structure much like scala.collection.immutable.List. As long as something is holding on to the head, the head holds on to the tail, and so on recursively. If, on the other hand, there is nothing holding on to the head (e.g. if we used def to define the LazyList) then once it is no longer being used directly, it disappears.

- Note that some operations, including drop, dropWhile, flatMap or collect may process a large number of intermediate elements before returning.

Here's another example. Let's start with the natural numbers and iterate over them.

// We'll start with a silly iteration
def loop(s: String, i: Int, iter: Iterator[Int]): Unit = {
  // Stop after 200,000
  if (i < 200001) {
    if (i % 50000 == 0) println(s + i)
    loop(s, iter.next(), iter)
  }
}

// Our first LazyList definition will be a val definition
val lazylist1: LazyList[Int] = {
  def loop(v: Int): LazyList[Int] = v #:: loop(v + 1)
  loop(0)
}

// Because lazylist1 is a val, everything that the iterator produces is held
// by virtue of the fact that the head of the LazyList is held in lazylist1
val it1 = lazylist1.iterator
loop("Iterator1: ", it1.next(), it1)

// We can redefine this LazyList such that all we have is the Iterator left
// and allow the LazyList to be garbage collected as required.  Using a def
// to provide the LazyList ensures that no val is holding onto the head as
// is the case with lazylist1
def lazylist2: LazyList[Int] = {
  def loop(v: Int): LazyList[Int] = v #:: loop(v + 1)
  loop(0)
}
val it2 = lazylist2.iterator
loop("Iterator2: ", it2.next(), it2)

// And, of course, we don't actually need a LazyList at all for such a simple
// problem.  There's no reason to use a LazyList if you don't actually need
// one.
val it3 = new Iterator[Int] {
  var i = -1
  def hasNext = true
  def next(): Int = { i += 1; i }
}
loop("Iterator3: ", it3.next(), it3)

- In the fibs example earlier, the fact that tail works at all is of interest. fibs has an initial (0, 1, LazyList(...)), so tail is deterministic. If we defined fibs such that only 0 were concretely known, then the act of determining tail would require the evaluation of tail, so the computation would be unable to progress, as in this code:

// The first time we try to access the tail we're going to need more
// information which will require us to recurse, which will require us to
// recurse, which...
lazy val sov: LazyList[Vector[Int]] = Vector(0) #:: sov.zip(sov.tail).map { n => n._1 ++ n._2 }

The definition of fibs above creates a larger number of objects than necessary depending on how you might want to implement it. The following implementation provides a more "cost effective" implementation due to the fact that it has a more direct route to the numbers themselves:

lazy val fib: LazyList[Int] = {
  def loop(h: Int, n: Int): LazyList[Int] = h #:: loop(n, h + n)
  loop(1, 1)
}

The head, the tail and whether the list is empty or not can be initially unknown. Once any of those are evaluated, they are all known, though if the tail is built with #:: or #:::, it's content still isn't evaluated. Instead, evaluating the tails content is deferred until the tails empty status, head or tail is evaluated.

Delaying the evaluation of whether a LazyList is empty or not until it's needed allows LazyList to not eagerly evaluate any elements on a call to filter.

Only when it's further evaluated (which may be never!) any of the elements gets forced.

for example:

def tailWithSideEffect: LazyList[Nothing] = {
  println("getting empty LazyList")
  LazyList.empty
}

val emptyTail = tailWithSideEffect // prints "getting empty LazyList"

val suspended = 1 #:: tailWithSideEffect // doesn't print anything
val tail = suspended.tail // although the tail is evaluated, *still* nothing is yet printed
val filtered = tail.filter(_ => false) // still nothing is printed
filtered.isEmpty // prints "getting empty LazyList"
Type Params

Builds a new lazy list by applying a function to all elements of this lazy list and using the elements of the resulting collections.

For example:

The type of the resulting collection is guided by the static type of lazy list. This might cause unexpected results sometimes. For example:

// lettersOf will return a Seq[Char] of likely repeated letters, instead of a Set
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words flatMap (word => word.toSet)

// lettersOf will return a Set[Char], not a Seq
def lettersOf(words: Seq[String]) = words.toSet flatMap ((word: String) => word.toSeq)

Deprecated methods

@deprecated("Check .knownSize instead of .hasDefiniteSize for more actionable information (see scaladoc for details)", "2.13.0")
override def hasDefiniteSize: Boolean

Tests whether this lazy list is known to have a finite size.

Tests whether this lazy list is known to have a finite size. All strict collections are known to have finite size. For a non-strict collection such as Stream, the predicate returns true if all elements have been computed. It returns false if the stream is not yet evaluated to the end. Non-empty Iterators usually return false even if they were created from a collection with a known finite size.

Note: many collection methods will not work on collections of infinite sizes. The typical failure mode is an infinite loop. These methods always attempt a traversal without checking first that hasDefiniteSize returns true. However, checking hasDefiniteSize can provide an assurance that size is well-defined and non-termination is not a concern.

Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain.

Applies this partial function to the given argument when it is contained in the function domain. Applies fallback function where this partial function is not defined.

Note that expression pf.applyOrElse(x, default) is equivalent to

if(pf isDefinedAt x) pf(x) else default(x)

except that applyOrElse method can be implemented more efficiently. For all partial function literals the compiler generates an applyOrElse implementation which avoids double evaluation of pattern matchers and guards. This makes applyOrElse the basis for the efficient implementation for many operations and scenarios, such as:

- combining partial functions into orElse/andThen chains does not lead to excessive apply/isDefinedAt evaluation - lift and unlift do not evaluate source functions twice on each invocation - runWith allows efficient imperative-style combining of partial functions with conditionally applied actions

For non-literal partial function classes with nontrivial isDefinedAt method it is recommended to override applyOrElse with custom implementation that avoids double isDefinedAt evaluation. This may result in better performance and more predictable behavior w.r.t. side effects.

Value Params

Iterates over combinations.

Iterates over combinations. A _combination_ of length n is a subsequence of the original sequence, with the elements taken in order. Thus, "xy" and "yy" are both length-2 combinations of "xyy", but "yx" is not. If there is more than one way to generate the same subsequence, only one will be returned.

For example, "xyyy" has three different ways to generate "xy" depending on whether the first, second, or third "y" is selected. However, since all are identical, only one will be chosen. Which of the three will be taken is an implementation detail that is not defined.

Note: Even when applied to a view or a lazy collection it will always force the elements.
